UFC 129 Weigh-In Pictures: Lyoto Machida

All fighters made weight for Saturday night’s UFC 129 event. UFC 129, which is headlined by the welterweight championship bout between Georges St. Pierre and Jake Shields and the featherweight championship bout between Jose Aldo and Mark Hominick, airs live on Pay-Per-View from the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at a new time of 9 p.m. ET.

Lyoto Machida - "I feel a victory over Randy Couture in the immediate future would put me back in the title line. In the future, what it does for my career is it’s just a big honor to fight against a legend like Randy Couture."

"There's always something to learn from every experience and every loss, but what I gained from my second loss was to maybe be a little bit more aggressive earlier in the fight."

lolwut?

So let me get this straight: the WWE has gone from the powerful "Austin 3:16" to the dominant and iconic "Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?" all the way to... (cue baby voice) "You can't see me." Oh, believe me, we all can see you. A blind-folded, sleeping, stuck in the basement, Stevie Wonder can see your monkey ass. - The Rock

That’s pube town we’re looking at. Dude must know EXACTLY where his shit starts to see light

I thought so to, Machida is a small light heavy though and Randy I always thought of as average size light heavy, how odd.

Whose that amorphous squinting blob dressed in a trashbag with sleves standing in the back???

And how is he relevant to the weigh-in??

Nice!

That was the best moment of the weigh-ins for me, by far.

My fave

was the quick crotch-check the ring girl gave GSP as he was buttoning up his pants…

Ugh

just realized DW is rocking a leafs shirt

Fine! I'll go build my own lunar lander, with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the lunar lander and the blackjack.

I just wanna know what it would take

for Rogan to make a reference to the Machida era after this fight.

Just Breed!

Damn Randy looks OLD.

Are our bones not dust?
Is our Blood not Poison?
On my knees in the black light
Praying for Salvation, bitter Redemption
So throw your dice and cast your shadow
You may look away
But your children will not...

Going with my heart and rooting for Randy….i still think Machida should go down a weight…he’s just not ripped like alot of people trying to make 205…but i know i know, as long as the Spider is there he wont!

Ellenberger has a big head.

Really big. Tito big. (Okay, maybe not quite that big…)
